See Me Smiling - The Lantern Lyrics

I watched her tears fall down like bullets ricochet off the ground
I wish it didn't hurt this much to walk away
We were in our own cocoon
Together, just me and you
But even butterflies fly away

I don't think I can save what's coming to light
I'm in a different place, but I don't want this to die
It hits me dubiously, but something ain't right
I'll just continue to think that I can change it overnight

We were faithful, it's painful to let this end
Some things in life we'll just never understand
This lantern, it flickers at the end of the night
So I'll sit here in kiss her for one last time

I always thought I would stay because it just made sense
The sparks have started to fade, now my dear I'm on the fence
Don't wanna think we'll move on, but I think it's time
I know we had a good run, but I won't keep her on the line

She asked me if I could see anything wrong
Who could blame her? On paper, we'd still be going strong
This lantern, it flickers at the end of the night
So I'll sit here and kiss her for one last time

I watched her tears fall down like bullets ricochet off the ground
I wish it didn't hurt this much to walk away
We were in our own cocoon
Together, just me and you
But even butterflies fly away

Butterfly, fly away.
Find a better place to stay.
